I think you may not have realized that you need two plugins to enable Git SCM on Jenkins. The Git client plugin provides a Git API which is usable by other plugins. The Git plugin uses the Git client plugin to provide access to Git as an SCM system for Jenkins jobs. Install both the Git client plugin and the Git plugin, restart Jenkins, and see if that helps.
